| Our view from our hotel in Cinque Terre |

This summer some of my family came to visit, which included my sister, my aunt, and my mom. My sister has traveled around the world, and to more places than I have in Europe. For my mom and aunt, however, this was their first time off the North American region. We spent half of our trip in a Northern city in Italy, Cinque Terre, and the rest of the time exploring Geneva.
Cinque Terre was our first destination. It was a very beautiful city, made up of five little towns. We stayed in the largest one, Montorosso, which a little slice of paradise. We spend our time enjoying the views, the beach, the pool, and of course the food. Limoncello nicely ended almost every meal.
We then returned to Geneva, where the Fête de Genève was still going on. We bought tickets to have good seats to see the firework show, which is said to be the biggest in all of Europe. It was amazing and coordinated with music, half of which was Portuguese music of all genres, and the other half to explorers of the past. We also got to go up the cable car at the Salève in France the next day, after spending some with Nuno's family.
It was a short trip, but as always, it was good-quality family time. So now the question for the next trip is...where in Europe will we go?
